Amphiphilic and thermosensitive star polymers with Ru(II) complex−encapsulating microgel cores were directly synthesized in high yield via RuCl2(PPh3)3-catalyzed living radical polymerization. For the solvo- and thermal responsiveness, the arms stem from a block copolymer of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) with a small amount of methyl methacrylate. For the metal encapsulation into the core, a phosphine-ligand monomer [CH2CH(C6H4)PPh2] was “copolymerized” with a divinyl compound (linking agent); upon block polymer formation, in situ addition of these two components induced the linking reaction of the arm chains and, subsequently, the formation of Ru(II)-bearing microgels (cores) via ligand exchange between the triphenylphoshines in the original catalyst and the pendent phosphines in the core network. Thus, the hydrophobic catalyst [RuCl2(PPh3)3] for polymerization was in situ transformed into an amphiphilic core-bound catalyst. The star polymers with different Ru(II) contents were ...
